Farai Dziva|Kembo Mohadi has warned businesses against overpricing.

In a speech read on his behalf in Beitbridge, Mohadi accused businesses of “milking members of the public.”

“We know those businesses and as the President said, we will deal with you because you undertook to serve the people and not to milk them.

Can anyone explain why beverages from our local manufacturers are so expensive here in Beitbridge where we have depots?

Shops have a duty to protect consumers who must not be punished for their loyalty. Now that we are using local currency through the promulgation of Statutory Instrument 142 of 2019, we urge businesses to shun the exploitative process overburdening the consumers,” said Mohadi.
